Anybody up for a communal poem? Let's write,and i'll begin. Who's going to write next stanza? Rules are there should only be 5 stanzas, and everyone can only write one. So be careful where you want to begin, and not close off 5th stanza before somebody can get to it. Since there is only a few of us... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, Life Must I point my finger into the wound Of every disaster thereby affirming them Cushionless, unperceived In this hand of motion? I want something more than I can get An un-perceived image what I can’t understand Hello, hello Anybody there? Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, Life Must I resound in this silent chord This single ending to all my beginnings? Measured to be sure The frailty of a reality Shimmering beyond the shore And to grasp this incompletion If only thru osmosis What I gained, and what I lost Or if thru the eye of a needle I could find This final...

The Question of My Own existence

If there were no being, how could I have a consciousness?” This only raises the question of the choise of what is and what seems to be But once we accept our beingness, there is no way back to our non-beingness Ok, maybe one door closes while another one opens But I don’t see any Exit signs in the...

THE BOX

I’m not sure what's in this box but I really don't know what's outside it either this relationship seems necessary for not to have a box would be nothingness So, if the box exists, it has an outside dimension which can be perceived as such (how else would we know there is a box?) Thus the... Sign in to see full entry.

My Little Problem With God

Frankly, I don’t know what all this is about Because I didn’t invent it And I don’t know what was going on Before I was born And now I’m supposed to relate to this? I’m a mould in my own cheese So, “tasty, tasty” And where is god now? Is this the same as “being here”? Or the re-projection of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Where Did God Come From?

1): I’m wrestling with myself again On a most basic question Where did God come from? This, of course, raises the question of Pre-existence And perhaps planes I know nothing about Which might be the key And if I put aside the conclusion of an Unmoved Mover Doesn’t everything have to begin someplace?...

ALL THUMBS UP?

Hey, it took me long enough to type with my two forefingers On a machine that was more advanced than I was And I was just getting into the new numbering system Before they came out with area codes So I’m starting to wonder why things have already happened Before I even get here So I really liked it...
